S2 Ep 232Aston’s Radical New Car Stumbled On Day One

Aston Martin's car broke cover...and then broke down. Oops.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe first Adrian Newey designed car from Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll's team introduced itself around Spain at the very end of the fourth day of Barcelona's F1 shakedown to great interest...but that all got muted by a precautionary end to proceedings just four or five laps later. Not the best start.However, with Alonso increasing the lap count of Day 5, could the achievement of even making it to the test at all be a sign of the Formula 1's team ambition? Are the innovations made by Newey, Cardile et al be the key to provide the team their first Formula One victory? Time will tell, but it was certainly not a boring start! #f1 #fernandoalonso #adriannewey #formula1 #maxverstappen #lancestroll #formulaone #f12026 #formula12026 #astonmartinf1 #astonmartin #f1news #adriannewey #f1latest #f1teams #f1drivers #f1updates #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #adcastoreaff Aston’s Radical New Car Stumbled On Day Onehttps://youtu.be/0t0rUTwwTHACan't watch the ladder?

S2 Ep 231Williams Breaks Silence on 2026 Controversy

Williams responds to the controversial rumours around its 2026 car.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsJames Vowles took to his F1 team's social media feeds to discuss what's going on with their 2026 machine, since it has missed the first ever Formula 1 test session of the season. In it, he denies rumours regarding FIA chassis crash test failures and a supposed heavy car. Does this go some way to dispel worries about the Formula One team? Yes, but it is still a calculated move.But one must admit, given the nature of the test we've seen, it might have been for the best to keep the FW48 a secret for as long as possible.

S3 Ep 230F1 Just Made Isack Hadjar’s Situation Messier

F1's handling of the shakedown test just got a lot messier thanks to Isack Hadjar's "small off". Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe events of the second day of pre-season running of Formula 1 cars has only gone and brought into sharp relief the awkward nature of this first chapter of the 2026 season. The teams want privacy, Formula One wants content and us fans? We just want stuff to chew over after weeks of nothing but speculation.Instead, we got a scenario where nobody is happy. Teams are being analysed by the media anyway (despite their security measures), F1 is facing tons of backlash and fans are left frustrated...with Red Bull Racing's Hadjar the centre of this firestorm...and that's BEFORE the second seat curse chestnut.#f1 #redbullracing #isackhadjar #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #f1shakedown #f1testing #formula12026 #redbull #hadjar #f1news #f1latest #f1teams #f1team #f1drivers #f1driver #f1updates #f1crashes #f1crash #f1drama Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffF1 Just Made Isack Hadjar’s Situation Messierhttps://youtu.be/S1lXg3OHaH4https://youtu.be/S1lXg3OHaH4Can't watch the ladder?

S3 Ep 229Williams Just Took the Biggest Risk of F1 2026 So Far

Williams derail themselves before 2026 even starts...or have they?Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe only team that isn't in Barcelona for the F1 shakedown event of 2026...is the team that most Formula 1 fans hoped for success. With Williams choosing to skip this first test event of the year and instead go digital before arriving in Bahrain, is this game over for this time before the Formula 1 2026 season is even at pace? Not necessarily.Could James Vowles be leading Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz into a plan similar to Mercedes? Where data and computers are important in improving the understanding of energy? Could correlation be this team's best means to jump into the front running back alongside Red Bull and McLaren?

S3 Ep 225Audi Enters F1, Starts Fight Immediately

Audi is officially within Formula 1...their first mission? Take on Mercedes!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWhat a way to make an entrance. Audi has used its first major F1 themed event to lay down its intent to talk like a big manufacturer, instead of a backmarker survivor that Sauber used to be. With this newfound clout, its leaders are coming after Mercedes and Red Bull in regards to the swirling news regarding an engine innovation that the FIA is hearing out engine makers about soon. With Ferrari and Honda alongside them, Audi are making it clear they mean business and are keen to act like a force to be reckoned with. Less shouty, more strong and diplomatic. Wheatley may have learned with Horner about a front running team operation...but he can speak FIA.

Haas reveals that work on their 2026 car started in 2024...not long after Toyota arrived.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsAs Toyota Gazoo Racing evolves into purely Toyota Racing, more and more details are coming to light in regards to the 2026 F1 rule changes...and that the smallest team in Formula 1 had been developing their concept since the "second half of 2024"...what else happened around that time? The announcement of TGR's collaboration with Ayao Komatsu's team. With more clues about this team's future in Formula One appearing by the day seemingly, does this mean that the Japanese automaker has just as much understanding of the new regulations as Haas does?

Ford got beaten to the shakedown punch by GM in latest clap-back! Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsWith their Silverstone shakedown, General Motors and Cadillac ended their three-year long journey toward Formula 1. With them besting Ford to the punch in regards to getting an F1 car on the road with their name on the machine. With this in mind, what did we learn from the shakedown in terms of their overall game plan and future in the Formula One racing scene?

S3 Ep 222Red Bull Finally Stopped Copy-Pasting Liveries

At last! Red Bull changed their livery...and it's beautiful.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsThe first launch event of F1 2026 kicked off in Detroit...and we saw a miracle: a Red Bull Racing car NOT in matte paint. Instead, a very detailed and shiny design mixing old and new as well as highlighting the partnership with Ford in a way that had never been emulated with Honda (except for the white bulls). The RB22, piloted by Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, looked wonderful and the team looked extremely optimistic for the Formula 1 season ahead.As that was going the Racing Bulls VCARB03 launched...to a less favourable read. It was OK, but not as striking as last year. However, their presentation was very impressive and gave us a sign that this team definitely takes pride in its Gen Z and Alpha embracing.#f1 #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f12026 #christianhorner #laurentmekies #isackhadjar #f1news #f1drivers #f1teams #f1launch #f1updates #f1drama #rb22 #vcarb03 #vcarb #liamlawson #arvidlindblad #f1carlaunch Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffCan't watch the ladder?

Max Verstappen laments Oscar Piastri's situation, thinking the Aussie has "sold his soul".Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a rather blunt take, Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen views the Italian Grand Prix pass allowing Lando Norris back ahead of the Australian McLaren driver was something he himself would never do. However, it's a little too harsh and out of touch. Here, Max talks what happens when a team already has a clear king...but McLaren are terrified of accidentally crowning the wrong king.

McLaren's Zak Brown has said the quiet part out loud...but F1 bosses have moved on.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn a move to "destabilise" their rivals, the McLaren CEO Zak Brown confirmed that the idea which the Formula 1 team principal Andrea Stella tends not to rely on is thrown back in the faces of the team's enemies and rivals. Is this the kind of Formula One team I got behind in 2015? No it's not. Why is Brown doing this in an era of F1 which is going the other way in using loud-mouthed politics?

With Perez's forecast coming true, could we see the end of it at the same time as he resumes F1 work with Cadillac for 2026?

Max Verstappen likes what he's hearing whilst Ford is ready to roll with Red Bull!Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsIn the last couple of weeks, Red Bull-Ford Powertrians has gained HEAPS of credibility. Not only for pioneering a technique which only the title-favourites Mercedes have seized, but also doing so underneath a cost cap situation for the 2026 F1 regulations related to the new engines. That's a big deal...and something which Max Verstappen surely approves of. At least he definitely likes how the car's motor sounds; a major worry for many Formula 1 fans after the debacle of 2014. Here's why this, as well as Ford's confidence in its work with Red Bull Racing points to a reality where Max Verstappen does NOT abandon the team before his 2028 term ends. #f1 #redbullracing #maxverstappen #formula1 #formulaone #f1news #helmutmarko #f1drama #f1latest #f1updates #f1teams #f1drivers #redbullf1 #redbull #verstappen #yukitsunoda #sergioperez #checoperez #checo #f12026 #laurentmekies Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffMax Verstappen Approves Red Bull Ford Enginehttps://youtu.be/_n_7VtsF0tghttps://youtu.be/_n_7VtsF0tgCan't watch the ladder?
